Actually it conjures up a bit of the romantic, especially when it brings to mind the Bordeaux wine country. "A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and thou.........beside me sighing in the wilderness". Agreed......spelling in French is not one of Evan's gifts. And being a "Dogue de Bardo" is just not the same as being a Dogue de Bordeaux. =:-) But talking and handling? I think Evan is very gifted: talking, handling, and being a friend to almost everyone. Besides Guys ....remember the movie with Tom Hanks "Turner and Hooch"...that is a Dogue de Bordeaux ...great movie.
